Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.

Audrey
It looked good on the photos on the web site but even better when you actually get there. It is the second time I have stayed there with two friends and all being well we intend to go back again next year for a few days. It was very good that a wardrobe had been put in another bedroom, much appreciated.

Being just outside the town meant the street was relatively peaceful. Parking wasn't easy but with others to guide the car in to the parking space, we managed to get a Dacia Duster in. A few small suggestions - just one house key was provided which was difficult with 2 families, so another key would be great to have. Aside from some tiny UHT milk sachets and a couple of teabags/coffee sachets there was no "welcome pack" which would have been very well-received after a long drive. No towel was provided in downstairs toilet.

A big house with loads of comfortable spaces to chill - inside and out. Very close to the townâs pubs and restaurants, but set back from the hustle and bustle ensuring a restful haven to return to at the end of the day! Really well equipped and beautifully decorated throughout! Lots to see and do in the vicinity - fantastic walking and a steam railway just across the estuary! Who could ask for more!!!
